Duties
What makes this role unique? The Cap-and-Invest Group is leading the design and implementation of Washington’s cap-and-invest program, a market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the cap-and-invest program, businesses and entities will be required to obtain allowances equal to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. This market began in January 2023, the first auction was held in February 2023, and the proceeds are being invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The Auctions and Market section helps bring companies into the cap-and-invest program, facilitates allowance auctions and trading, and safeguards the Cap-and-Invest Program’s integrity through ongoing market surveillance. In this position as a senior market monitor, you will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies to surveil the Cap-and-Invest Program. The position safeguards the auctions and the market program, which is a top priority of both the agency, Legislature and Governor’s Office. What you will do:
Contribute to analysis of entity behavior within the cap-and-invest program with a focus on activities that change the Washington allowance market and related commodities and futures markets.
Coordinate market monitoring activities across state and national boundaries with other Cap-and-Invest programs as the Washington market links with other domestic and/or international jurisdictions.
To effectively lead market monitoring efforts, develop and maintain intuitive understanding of market by combining theoretical concepts from finance and related fields; statistical data analysis using econometrics or related methods; and review of regulated firm behavior, market transfers, allowance trends, secondary markets, and movements in related commodity markets. Apply concepts from these fields in your market monitoring work.
Provide support to other Cap-and-Invest Group staff as entities join the cap-and-invest market, such as providing analysis of corporate association groups that allow entities to join the market.
Mentor, cross-train, and serve as strong positive example to other auctions and market unit staff.
